"Come to Ningxia to avoid the limelight?" I looked at Zhang Qinfeng's frightened face, which was a little pale, and I couldn't help but want to slap him. If he had said this two years ago, I might not have believed it.
.But since last year, I have been tricked so miserably by others. If I don’t have a longer memory, I will live like a dog for the rest of my life.
However, I was not in a hurry to expose him, and then asked him about the details of the accident in Jiangbei a few days ago. This guy answered more simply this time, directly saying that he was not at the table when the accident happened and he didn't know anything.
"Really don't know anything?"
Before I could say anything, the monk beside him said with a smile. Zhang Qinfeng nodded vigorously, his eyes even more frightened. The monk ignored him, shook his body, found a basin full of water, and poured Zhang Qinfeng's
Zhang Qinfeng tried to struggle when his head was pressed into the water, but his little strength was not as strong as the monk's two fingers, and he could not move at all when he was pressed. The monk looked at his watch for a full minute before letting him go.
At this moment, I couldn't hold it any longer and looked miserable. I asked him again, and Zhang Qinfeng said with a sad face that what he just said was the truth.
As soon as he finished speaking, the monk grabbed his head and pushed it into the water again. He also told me that if you stifle a weakling like this three times at most, he will spit out the things you don't want to know.
There was a sneer on the corner of the monk's mouth, and he stared at the watch to check the time for Zhang Qinfeng. It seemed that he wanted to rush to the limit of Zhang Qinfeng's lung capacity.
This time, the boredom lasted longer. I saw that Zhang Qinfeng's legs were straightened up. I was afraid of causing death, so I quickly asked the monk to let go. As soon as Zhang Qinfeng's head came out of the water, he started coughing, as if he was being choked, and he coughed up snot and tears.
It flowed horizontally, mixed with water drops and dripped down his chin. When I asked again, he almost cried: "Master Tian! What my brother-in-law did has nothing to do with me!"
"Your brother-in-law? Luo Yi?" I immediately grabbed Zhang Qinfeng's collar: "What's going on! Tell me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, I realized that there was indeed an insider under the old man, and he cooperated inside and outside to completely sink him.
A few days before the accident in Jiangbei, everything was still calm. Zhang Qinfeng escaped from Cao Shi's hands, so he became a lot more honest after the loss, and spent his days messing around in the market. One day, Luo Yi quietly told him to let him
Stay at home for a few days and don't show up on the market. Zhang Qinfeng asked why, but Luo Yi refused to tell him and told him to be strict with his mouth.
Zhang Qinfeng was respectful and afraid of his brother-in-law, so he didn't dare to ask questions, but he also guessed something was wrong from Luo Yi's tone and expression. He had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he didn't even return to his home and hid directly.
A friend's place.
Immediately afterwards, something happened in Jiangbei, and everyone at the stall was wiped out, causing uproar in the city. Zhang Qinfeng was safe because he had been hiding, but he felt very uneasy. When the situation calmed down a little, Luo Yi contacted
He asked Zhang Qinfeng to come out and do some work.
Zhang Qinfeng thought that Luo Yi was crazy at the time and dared to show his face at this juncture. However, he later learned that when the old man fell, not all his people were unlucky. At least Luo Yi and the other people in charge of the stalls were not unlucky.
However, everyone temporarily went underground and did not show up easily. Moreover, Zhang Qinfeng discovered that all the people under Luo Yi had been replaced. Some were from other positions, and a small number of small-time workers from Jiangbei.
Fish and shrimp.
Zhang Qinfeng is a thief and has noticed that Luo Yi must have gone bad. People like him cannot have access to high-level secrets. He views problems from the perspective of his own experience. He is very aware of the old man's abilities and is afraid that one day the old man will
After the comeback, there was a big purge, so the more I stayed in Jiangbei, the more inappropriate I felt. It happened that Luo Yi needed to send someone to Ningxia. Zhang Qinfeng was eager to leave Jiangbei, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible, so he snatched the job.
In addition to Zhang Qinfeng, Luo Yi sent two other people to Ningxia. They all had their own division of labor. Zhang Qinfeng's task was to purchase some items according to the list listed by Luo Yi.
What surprised me was that the list Luo Yi made was almost exactly the same as the equipment we purchased. In other words, they might also have to do work near Ningxia, and the general environment where they would do the work was no different from ours, because wherever they go they have to do it.
Prepare the corresponding equipment, this is a bit intriguing.
When asked about this, Zhang Qinfeng couldn't say anything anymore. The monk didn't believe him, so he fed him twice more, which made him miserable, but there was still no new confession. I felt that this guy might only know so much.
Sure enough, it was the inner workings of the inner workings that brought down the old man, but I knew that Luo Yi did not have such great energy, he was just a pawn, and the real mastermind was still hiding behind the scenes.
It's a coincidence that the place where Zhang Qinfeng and the others live temporarily is not far from the guy with the mustache, because there is an antique market nearby, and many stores sell equipment, so it is more convenient to purchase. I looked gloomy because I was thinking about things.
It was uncertain. As soon as Zhang Qinfeng finished coughing, he began to repent, express his loyalty, and vowed to be incompatible with his brother-in-law.
I wanted to laugh, but I didn’t know how to deal with this guy. The monk told me that if I didn’t meet him by chance today, forget it. Now that I have met him, I can never let him go. I said what should I do?
, and we can’t just kill him off.
"Detain him. This person cannot be let go."
I also think so. If a weakling like Zhang Qinfeng is put back, our whereabouts will be exposed. Mustache's guy took him down, so I asked Mustache if that old immortal Xu Wanting had also reached out to him.
Here we are, because he was behind the scenes to bring down the old man Shen, and the mole in Jiangbei must have been connected with him. As soon as the old man disappeared, those guys were all recruited by the man named Xu and switched to work under him.
Mustache pondered for a moment and said no. People like Xu Wanting are getting older and are almost mature. He will not use temporary recruits to do big things. They are unreliable and easy to fight among themselves. The most likely person is Jiangbei.
The mole secretly gathered people under his control and continued to work along the same lines as the old man.
My heart sank. Even though I was very reluctant, I immediately thought of Cao Shi. Theoretically speaking, it was very possible that he would knock down the old man and replace him, because Cao Shi had a high status in Jiangbei and knew many inside stories.
, he has the strength to stand up on his own. But from the years we have been together, I still don’t believe that he can do such a thing. While I was thinking, I suddenly remembered what Mustache said, people
, all have two faces.
I am very willing to believe Cao Shi, but what happened in Jiangbei last time was outrageous and excessive, and it cast an invisible film over him.
Suddenly I felt afraid. If Cao Shi really did these things, what should I do? Am I going to fight a friend who I have grown up with since childhood? I have always treated him as a friend, no matter if he stabbed me
If I stab him, or if I stab him, the feeling will be very uncomfortable.
After further discussions, we felt that the situation was more serious than imagined. No matter who Luo Yi, Zhang Qinfeng and others are working with now, in short, the new forces in Jiangbei have probably begun to move to Ningxia and purchase the same equipment as us.
This cannot rule out the possibility that they also have insight into the situation of Yuntan Peak. If we and they really encounter each other on the way, a fight is certain, and no one will let the other go.
It doesn't matter. What I'm most afraid of is that if they really come for Yuntan Peak and find this place in advance, we won't even have time to cry. Neither Xiaozhu nor I are troublemakers, but now that we think about it, we feel that we can't be cruel.
If our hands are no longer good, we must at least clear out their advance station in Ningxia. When their team comes over, they will be stuck in the mess for at least a few days. In these few days, we will have the upper hand and many things will happen.
Maybe everything will change.
Thinking like this, I feel more and more time is pressing. The monk led people to go there according to the address provided by Zhang Qinfeng, arrested the people, and transported away the equipment they had purchased. Xiaohu and I selected the equipment and people, and were ready to set off at any time. Ma
Dad packed a big backpack by himself, and 80% of it was dry food. I thought to myself that he was already such an old man after all, and it would be too much for him to follow us all the way over the mountains and ridges, so I persuaded him to stay and wait for us.
"No." Ma Dad shook his head and whispered to me while no one was around: "What happened last time in Kaiyang Old Forest made me feel uneasy. The monks and their family are also not clean. I have been wandering around for many years.
I would like to follow you on the road to give you some advice. Don’t stop me. Originally, Mustache thought that I was holding them back and delaying things. If you say it again, he will have more reasons. More importantly, I have
Now, Huzi has gotten something good from Monk, but he can’t deceive me.”
I didn't say anything more and patted my dad gratefully. The old guy was ugly, cunning, pushy, and boastful, but he still had a kind heart.
After packing our bags, we set off immediately. After checking and analyzing the map we extracted from the manuscript, we found that it should be at the northern foot of the Helan Mountains. We could first rush to Bayan Aobao, and then use that as a starting point to head south into the Helan Mountains.
.Many details have been clarified in advance. The closest place to the northern foot of Helan Mountain is a small village called Ulan Bulang, where you can find a guide.
Along the way, we were all a little nervous. We had a good plan, but suddenly people came out to grab business, forcing us to rush forward. Another point is that Yuntan Peak hidden in the picture seems to be a very lonely place name.
I asked people beforehand, and everyone said they had never heard of this place. I also felt that the three words "Yuntan Peak" should not be in line with the Xixia people's habit of naming place names at that time. In case it was Lu Xiuhuang's personality.
Innovation, the name I gave this mountain, is terrible.
